Botanical name: Eucommia ulmoides
Traditional preparation: Salt-fried (Yan Chao 鹽炒)

Product Overview

Du Zhong, or Eucommia Bark, is a time-honored ingredient in traditional Chinese herbal practice. Our salt-fried version is prepared using a light salt solution and gentle stir-frying, a classic method used to transform the bark’s qualities while preserving its natural integrity. The result is a clean, authentic material suitable for teas, decoctions, and traditional recipes.

  • Broths & Soups: Add a few pieces to soups or slow-simmered broths for a subtle earthy note.

  • Herbal Blends: Commonly paired with herbs such as goji berry, jujube, or dang gui in traditional recipes.
